CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT; SURPRISE?
Faaris walked out of his room to find all the employees of his mother going up and down in the house, like they usually do when there is a party. He walked down the staircase maintaining a straight and less annoyed face as he heard his mother and her weekend ladies.
"Oh my is that Faaris?" Said one of the ladies as he was about to walk to the front door. He stopped and turned coming back into the living room.
"Salaam everyone"
"Wa'alaikumsalaam, Faaris how are you?"
"When did you come back?"
"How is it back in America?" He stared at them as they attacked him with questions.
"How is he supposed to talk when you didn't give him a chance?" Asked a young lady coming into the living room. Dressed in a long A-line plain yellow gown, Her long brown hair falling on her back stopping on her hips. The sound of her heels clicking as she confidently walked.
"Oh Samira darling coming to the rescue huh?" Joked Maraam
"They have always been like that since childhood always there for each other" Faaris raised his brows as his mother bluntly lied.
"If you will excuse me I have a meeting to attend" He said
"We were hoping to have a nice chat but then we can do that at the party later"
"Party?"
"Did you not tell him Maraam?"
"It was supposed to be a surprise, be here at 8 we have a party to celebrate your award winnings"
"What?"
"I said it is a surprised didn't i?" Questioned Maraam glaring at Faaris he stared at her as he tried reading her expressions.
"Let's go" Said Samira cutting him off as she took his hands dragging him out.
"How many times have we talked about you touching me?" Said Faaris the moment they stepped out.
"It is better to have you scold me than your fight with Aunt Maraam" He kept quite thinking of what to do next and how to ditch the party, but knowing his mother she will create a problem for him.
"I have to go"
"Don't ditch the party, there is a surprise for you, Fiancé" Said Samira and walked off smiling. He stared at her as she walked back into his house. There is a feeling that wasn't settling with him as he thinks of the party. It is as if something bad will happen.

"How comes you don't know about what the surprise in is about?" Faaris asked Naadir who has been spacing out the entire day
"Maybe because I am your assistant not the Ahfaad's family?" He joked but Faaris could tell it was as if he is trying to calm himself down.
"We will see about that let's go in" They entered the very crowded part of the Ahfaad mansion, with different class of rich people.
"Finally you showed up, Aunt Maraam has been asking about you" Said Rashid standing next to them
"He didn't want to come" Replied Naadir. Faaris rolled his eyes and entered the party ground. Soon all eyes were on the three friends, as they stopped along the way greeting different people before finally reaching their parents.
"It is about time the main part of the party shows up" Said Samira's mother smiling at Faaris, which he returned with a blank look.
"When is it finishing?" Asked Faaris the moment he was next to his mother. She looked at him and smiled.
"Patience son! Why don't we start off the dinner first?" Said Maraam smiling at her friends.
They sat down on the round tables for dinner. Eating different kinds of food and drinks. The men talking about Businesses and billionaires.
The ladies talking about trending designs and matchmaking their kids with other billionaires.
Faaris and Rashid looked around waiting for the party to finish as they thought about their life in New Jersey they just can't wait to go back. Rashid's mind drifted to Nihaal as she is America waiting for them to come back, he can't wait to have a good time with her without people gossiping about every of their moves and to fight for his love. He removed his phone and smiled immediately seeing she is online on WhatsApp.
"I am leaving" Said Faaris standing up only to be stopped by Samira and his mother.
"The surprise" She said to him, he raised his brows, she pointed to the table is mother is standing and holding a microphone now.
"Welcome to the Ahfaad mansion everyone we are glad to have you here, I know it was a short notice about the party but it is always good to have fun and to socialise and everyone present is an important part of our lives. Without further or do as most of us are business figures time is valued as I can see my dearest son getting ready to leave" Faaris sat back down looking at his mother as she chuckled
"The purpose of this party as we all know is to congratulate Faaris for winning each Award he was nominated for, I will leave that to be announced by the Mc"
"Thank you ma'am! Wooh this is crazy, I want everyone to be ready to clap their hands for our Faaris Ahfaad for getting the Business leader of the year for the third time in a row, Award for outstanding achievement and for getting the Award for positive change and also for the third time in a row, oh my! Hey Mr Ahfaad can you give me one at least to have something on the Shelf my mama build for me for my awards? It is still empty" Joked the MC as they laughed with him and clapped for Faaris, he stood up and nodded his head, thanking them.
"With that being said and now for the most awaited moment and also a surprise for Faaris too, we are honoured to announce the engagement of Faaris Ahfaad the heir of Ahfaad Empire and-"
"Mr Ahmad I was supposed to make the announcement, Everyone enjoy your night and wait for the revel of the bride" Maraam cut off the MC smiling at the audience.
Faaris stood up immediately hearing that, he looked over at his mother and father who are accepting greetings from people and Naadir who is silently looking at the table, looking confused as ever. What is his mother thinking this time?
